Linux phones are cool, but not ready for general use yet… unless that’s changed recently, in which case I’ll look into buying a PinePhone.

On desktop, I use Debian and FreeBSD.

You’ll be able to sideload. The mandate includes the EEA (which includes Switzerland), as well as the EU.

It wasn’t my dumb idea.

I use ProtonVPN 24/7, and it hasn’t changed anything. It’s a firmware thing, I think.

I will as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

My situation is complicated.

Wait, really? Why is it in such a state‽

Possibly, but for the sake of sideloading I’d may as well just buy an Android.

Wasn’t my choice. I was 10.

Something Android has had since version 1.0: the ability to install apps from places other than the App Store.

Time to get an Android, I guess.

I use master because I’m nostalgic. If it matters that much, though, I’ll start using trunk (like we used to back in the days of SVN).

Since Old Reddit will be dead soon, have a look at kddit and Eddrit. They’re like Libreddit, but not blocked (yet). However, you should try to avoid using them, as they get ratelimited quite easily.

NoScript generally helps this. No JS means no uBo detection.

Try changing your user agent to a Chrome one (e.g. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36). Works a treat!

What’s the problem with running an older OSX? https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

I am running 10.6. Chromium Legacy is for 10.7 and above, and the same is true of a lot of software. Meanwhile, on my Linux partition, I can have Firefox Nightly if I want. It’ll run heavily, but it’s possible.

As it happens, I do have a somewhat recent browser installed in OSX, but it’s not great.

Also, running an older OS like that isn’t a good idea, as it won’t have received security patches or microcode updates.

That’s the thing, you can run a 64-bit distro as long as you’ve a 32 bit grub starting it :)

I hadn’t quite considered that somebody had implemented this. Thanks for the info!

There was also another user who gave me a link to some software that modifies mixed-mode ISOs so that they will boot on my potato laptop.

Whoa! Thank you!

Well, that explains the memes.
